Gunsmoke brought to you by L&M builders with the miracle tip. King size regular both at the same low price. Around Dodge City and in the territory on West, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers and that's with the U.S. Marshal and the smell of gunsmoke.
In the end, smoke starring William Conrad, the transcribed story of the violence that moved West with young America, and the story of a man who moved with it. I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshal.
The first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It's a chancey job, and it makes a man watchful. And a little lonely. I'm sorry, I'm so late, Mr. Dillon. You know it's five miles to Fort Dodge and five miles backchester, figuring the time you were gone, you traveled about two miles an hour.
Well, Major Honeyman kept me waiting almost three hours, Mr. Dump. Oh, why didn't you leave the papers with the first sergeant? You told me to deliver him to the Major. Well, I should have explained that again.
Well, that's all right. Me and the first sergeant enjoyed a couple of beers at the settlers. Oh, well, I trust Major Honeyman didn't mind waiting. Him? Oh, no, sir, it was me, Mr. Doney. You see, when I got there, it's all right.
It doesn't matter. It's all right, Justice. All right. After all, it's a pretty hot day. Oh, it ain't nothing like it. You know, sir, I was wondering all the way back, do you think maybe someday they'll invent a way to kind of cover up the sun a little?
What? Who's they, Chester? Well, I don't know. The people that works on stuff like that, Then fellas it goes to school and all. You think they will? I think any man that went to school very long ought to have more sense than to try to cover up the sun.
